  • How does java hashmap work ? HashMap is one of the most popular java.util data structures.
    Its one of the associative array implementations, here I have explained its internals in simple terms using an animation. Java8 adds a bit of enhancement to HashMap by using a balanced tree when there is too much has collisions. I have covered that as well.

    For anyone confused about how the index value is calculated: the “&” operator is a “bitwise AND” operator.
    When it is used, both its operands (the numbers before and after the operator) are converted to binary, and a bitwise “and” is performed on each pair of matching place values in both binary numbers. This results in a new binary number. For example:
    12 & 5 = 4, since
    1100 &
    0101 =
    0100
    And also
    2306996 & 15 = 4, since
    1000110011001110110100 &
    0000000000000000001111 =
    0000000000000000000100

    I think I will add one more point at 7:50,
    When you call put() for the element having the same index or hashcode() it calls equals() method as well to compare the key. If it's same then it will overwrite the previous element and if not then append to the next node.
    This part is very important because once I was asked what will happen if you only implement hashcode() and not equals() or vice versa.

      Would this mean that without the equals() method call, a HashMap could erroneously overwrite both Key and Value at the same time?

    • @dmitrikonnov922
      @dmitrikonnov922 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@ArkAngelHFB no, it doesn't make sense to overwrite the key, because its already in the array. Instead, the value is overwritten, because the hashmap doesn't tolerate duplicates. This can be also tricky when we deal with children nodes, for instance with one-to-many relationship. Sometimes one's better of to override children's hashcode() based on their class only, so that all children (objects of the same class) have the same hash code.

      @@dmitrikonnov922 But without the equals() call, wouldn't it just assume that since it shared the same hash, it WAS the same key and overwrite it?

    I'd like to add a point to the wonderful explanation of HashMap implementation
    When HashMap reaches its threshold limit of .75 or 75% it re-size by creating a new array of double the previous size HashMap, and then start putting every old element into that new bucket array and this is called rehashing and it also applies hash function to find new bucket location.

      @satishpatil115 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      for any object the index will be 0 to (n-1) when we take mod of (n-1), then why we need to re-index or it re-sizes ???

    • @ayushjindal4981
      @ayushjindal4981 6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      we need to do it so that get and put operations can be done in O(1). if we dont do it, the size of linked lists would keep on increasing and would eventually increase the cost of operations.

    • @vishalkumargupta7986

    Hi Ranjith,
    In the first put operation
    scores.put("KING",100). your index comes to 4.
    But according to index = hash % (n-1)
    it should be index = 2306996 % (16-1)
    this gives 11 and you calculated it as 4.
    However, if we put 'n' instead of 'n-1' we will get result as 4.
    So either the formula
    hash % (n-1) needs to be changed to hash % (n), if you are calculating indexes correctly
    or
    if the formula is already correct, your index must come out to be 11.
    need your comment on this. thanks

    • @ranjithramachandran5928
      @ranjithramachandran5928  8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      +Yogesh Bhat - hash(k) in real implementation is done to address "poorly" implemented hashcode methods in classes, that will cause a bucket(or index) loaded with too many nodes(or in older terms entries). It basically spreads higher bits of actual hashcode to lower order. This is done because the modulo operation produces different results only based on lower order btis.(in base 10, think of numbers at 'ones' position)

    @atulyadav21j 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    During put operation, why did we need to compare the hashcode, only comparing the keys will work. Say for an instance two keys have a same hashcode, in that case comparing with hashcode takes you no where, you have to compare key. May be I am missing something, please correct me I am going somewhere wrong.

    Thank you very much for this wonderful piece of work. Now certainly I got an idea of how exactly Hashmap works internally.Gonna check the internal activities of put, get and hash in jdk 8 also. Keep the knowledge flowing. :)
